- Fleming Harcourt hears tales at his club of a wonderful woman who has created a sensation in New York by her beauty and the unique lavishness of her entertainments. She has been nicknamed "The Huntress" by the men who have become captive to her beauty. Harcourt meets The Huntress, but conceals the wonderful impression the woman has made upon him. The Huntress, realizing that a new type of man has entered her life, exerts all her wiles to waken his love, but, while really enchanted, Harcourt remains cold and critical. The Huntress finds her interest in Harcourt growing, and when she finds that he does not return it she writes him to come to her. Harcourt takes his own time to answer her summons. When alone with him, The Huntress exerts all her physical attractiveness to win from him an expression of love. Harcourt fights the battle of self-control, but for a second, kisses her. Then he proposes marriage. She rebels, but without success. In an almost hypnotic state she finds herself married to Harcourt. An apartment is arranged in the same house for Harcourt. Despite her marriage, The Huntress resumes her gorgeous entertainments, men crowding into her presence with their proffered love. The Huntress begins to perceive that the old life is all an empty play without the dominant character of Harcourt, who avoids appearing in her presence. Harcourt has absolute faith in the purity of his wife, but considers his theory only in the first stages of development. It dawns upon The Huntress that Harcourt apparently is satisfied with the conditions she has imposed. She makes little advances of affection, which are ignored. Harcourt, desperately in love with The Huntress, finds it almost impossible to stay upon his side of the house. She decides to impress Harcourt with her power over men, and arranges a wonderful dinner, inviting him to dine with her. Harcourt declines, pleading a previous dinner engagement with the Countess Petronia. For the first time jealousy begins to creep into The Huntress' heart. She tries to convince herself that she does not care, and invites a number of men to be her guests. In reality Harcourt has remained in realizing that the success of his theory is at its crisis. The dinner is a huge success, but the devotion of the men bore her. The vision of Harcourt with the Countess pursues her, while in reality Harcourt is in his rooms, feverishly counting the hours until her guests will depart. He leaves the house by a side entrance to fight it out with himself in a long walk. The Huntress, torn with jealousy, is dominated by her love for Harcourt. She goes to his rooms with the determination of telling him that she will not allow his attention to any other woman, only to find that he is out. Overcome with jealousy, she searches his apartment to find some trace of the Countess, and discovers a long, white glove in the pocket of Harcourt's dressing gown. In reality she herself had dropped the glove upon one of her hurried secret trips to his rooms. She jumps to the conclusion that it belongs to the Countess. She is about to leave the apartment when Harcourt returns and finds her there. She furiously confronts him with the glove. Harcourt admits that it belongs to the woman he loves. Harcourt insists that she is not a real woman, being dependent upon her artificial surroundings. She asks to be put to the test. He tells her that he must live in the mining camp, and demands to know if she is willing to accompany him. This means the casting aside of all that she has hitherto considered worth living for, the hunting and capture of the male, but under the influence of Harcourt's tenderness she consents to go with him, no matter where, convinced at last that, by the side of the one man, love is really worthwhile.—Moving Picture World synopsis
